Overview

Fantastically large flowerheads are packed with dark plum (almost black), crumpled petals, which give the flower a frilly effect. These magnificent blooms sit on top of stout stems in summer and as the petals fall, attractive seed heads remain, which will add interest to the border for several months. Growing instructions: Sow from March to May or August to September directly into shallow drills into a well-prepared seedbed and water well. Germination takes 7-30 days, keep the soil moist during this period. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to around 30cm apart. Protect emerging seedlings from slugs and snails. The seedheads can be dried and added to winter arrangements. Sow: March to May or August to September (outdoors) Flowering: June to August
